Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Olympus FE-5020 and Kodak Z980 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Olympus FE-5020 has external dimensions of 93 x 56 x 25 mm (3.66 x 2.2 x 0.98″) and weighs 137 g (0.30 lb / 4.83 oz) (including batteries). Kodak Z980 has external dimensions of 124 x 91 x 105 mm (4.88 x 3.58 x 4.13″) and weighs 445 g (0.98 lb / 15.70 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Olympus FE-5020 and the Kodak Z980. Olympus FE-5020 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 31mm narrower, 35mm shorter and 80mm thinner than Kodak Z980.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Olympus FE-5020 and Kodak Z980.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Olympus FE-5020 and Kodak Z980.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-5020 is significantly lighter (308g ) than the Kodak Z980 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the FE-5020 has a big advantage over the Z980 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Kodak Z980's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Olympus FE-5020's 2.7" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
